| |
| -- This is a package to interface a GNAT program with a Web server via the |
| -- Common Gateway Interface (CGI). |
| |
| -- Other related packages are: |
| |
| -- GNAT.CGI.Cookie which deal with Web HTTP Cookies. |
| -- GNAT.CGI.Debug which output complete CGI runtime environment |
| |
| -- Basically this package parse the CGI parameter which are a set of key/value |
| -- pairs. It builds a table whose index is the key and provides some services |
| -- to deal with this table. |
| |
| -- Example: |
| |
| -- Consider the following simple HTML form to capture a client name: |
| |
| -- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML 3.2//EN"> |
| -- <html> |
| -- <head> |
| -- <title>My Web Page</title> |
| -- </head> |
| |
| -- <body> |
| -- <form action="/cgi-bin/new_client" method="POST"> |
| -- <input type=text name=client_name> |
| -- <input type=submit name="Enter"> |
| -- </form> |
| -- </body> |
| -- </html> |
| |
| -- The following program will retrieve the client's name: |
| |
| -- with GNAT.CGI; |
| |
| -- procedure New_Client is |
| -- use GNAT; |
| |
| -- procedure Add_Client_To_Database (Name : String) is |
| -- begin |
| -- ... |
| -- end Add_Client_To_Database; |
| |
| -- begin |
| -- -- Check that we have 2 arguments (there is two inputs tag in |
| -- -- the HTML form) and that one of them is called "client_name". |
| |
| -- if CGI.Argument_Count = 2 |
| -- and then CGI.Key_Exists ("client_name") |
| -- then |
| -- Add_Client_To_Database (CGI.Value ("client_name")); |
| -- end if; |
| |
| -- ... |
| |
| -- CGI.Put_Header; |
| -- Text_IO.Put_Line ("<html><body>< ... Ok ... >"); |
| |
| -- exception |
| -- when CGI.Data_Error => |
| -- CGI.Put_Header ("Location: /htdocs/error.html"); |
| -- -- This returns the address of a Web page to be displayed |
| -- -- using a "Location:" header style. |
| -- end New_Client; |
| |
| -- Note that the names in this package interface have been designed so that |
| -- they read nicely with the CGI prefix. The recommended style is to avoid |
| -- a use clause for GNAT.CGI, but to include a use clause for GNAT. |
| |
| -- This package builds up a table of CGI parameters whose memory is not |
| -- released. A CGI program is expected to be a short lived program and |
| -- so it is adequate to have the underlying OS free the program on exit. |
| |
| package GNAT.CGI is |
| |
| Data_Error : exception; |
| -- This is raised when there is a problem with the CGI protocol. Either |
| -- the data could not be retrieved or the CGI environment is invalid. |
| -- |
| -- The package will initialize itself by parsing the runtime CGI |
| -- environment during elaboration but we do not want to raise an |
| -- exception at this time, so the exception Data_Error is deferred |
| -- and will be raised when calling any services below (except for Ok). |
| |
| Parameter_Not_Found : exception; |
| -- This exception is raised when a specific parameter is not found |
| |
| Default_Header : constant String := "Content-type: text/html"; |
| -- This is the default header returned by Put_Header. If the CGI program |
| -- returned data is not an HTML page, this header must be change to a |
| -- valid MIME type. |
| |
| type Method_Type is (Get, Post); |
| -- The method used to pass parameter from the Web client to the |
| -- server. With the GET method parameters are passed via the command |
| -- line, with the POST method parameters are passed via environment |
| -- variables. Others methods are not supported by this implementation. |
